Volkswagen Australia has recalled the 2020 Touareg SUV to fix a problem with a gearbox oil pipe.

    According to the company, a gearbox oil pipe might have been incorrectly welded, which can make transmission oil leak.

    If the oil leaks, there’s a risk of injury or accident to the driver or other road users.
